BULLETIN No. 2 
In answer to the numerous inquiries that are reaching us regarding shipments of NURSERY STOCK 
from the European countries at war, we beg to advise as follows - for this date only. 
French Stock There is practically no doubt now that shipments will be made, almost as in normal 
_seasons, in seasonable time and at not excessive freight rates. The French Nurseries 
are located far from the scene of hostilities, the stock has made a good growth this season, the men taken from 
the Nurseries and offices by mobilization have been replaced and work continues as in times of peace. We can 
still book orders for all FRUIT and ORNAMENTAL STOCKS. 
Holland Stock There is also but little doubt that shipments will be made from all sources, Boskoop, 
___ Oudenbosch and Dedemsvaart on schedule time and at practically normal freight 
rates. Many shipments are now on the way across. Some have arrived. We can still book orders for Boxwood, 
Roses, Rhododendrons, Maples, Lindens, Herbaceous stock and all similar lines for Fall or Spring shipment at 
reduced prices. 
English Stock 
Raffi 
la 
Shipments are reasonably sure. Some are now on the way across. Freight rates 
reasonable. Gooseberries are sold out, but we can still book orders for English Man- 
etti at usual import prices. 
Shipments continue to arrive irregularly. Cost price, increased freight rate and war 
risk insurance raises our selling price, but we expect to take care of our regular cus¬ 
tomers for their immediate requirements while the war lasts. 
The war continues, so does the import business. Our Belgium shipments have all arrived—shipped from Ghent 
via Rotterdam right through the zone of hostilities, we mention this merely to emphasize the courage and re¬ 
sourcefulness of the large European export firms. Honor your own obligations and depend upon the European 
firms to honor theirs. In plain words, pay your bills promptly and keep on smiling.
